Chapter 133: The Importance of Taking Pictures

The brightly lit Wei Mansion was busy for two hours, and then the lights went out, and everyone slept peacefully, anyway, Li Guolou and Yelia will not leave tomorrow, and everything will be talked about this morning.

Li Guolou slept alone on the bed and sighed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, he was led by Yelia Wood's nose, and he calculated that he came to his house, and he didn't even dare to say anything to resist. Rich is a big deal, and the answer can be drawn from Chen Xiangfang's listening to Xie Xiuzhu's words. Now that Yelia Wood has arrived, this family will be Yelia's final say in the future. He has countless good ideas to make money, but all of them are in the future, and someone has to support him, and every business is someone else who makes a lot of money. In the future, the principal of the business is the money paid by the elder brother, sister, second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu and Yelia Wood in the family, he still has to look at the faces of others, which is completely different from what he imagined at the beginning, even if he makes money in the future, the money will go to the three grandmothers, and the family will still say that he eats soft rice.

This person wants to be motivated, but he has taken a shortcut, and the two new titles of "Soft Rice King" and "Ximen Qing" have been spread among friends, colleagues, and society. Li Guolou became a benchmark figure in the Qing Empire, but he reached heaven with this image, and in the future he will become a character with a mixed reputation like Hu Xueyan, and his reputation is compared with his brother Li Guoyun.

Li Guolou couldn't sleep because of his self-pity, and the door opened softly with a "squeak".

Li Guolou said: "I knew you were coming." ”

Yelia wore socks and carried two shoes in her hands, sneakily entered the room, hurriedly inserted the latch, slipped into the quilt, hugged Li Guolou and said coquettishly: "Mike, how do you know I'm coming?" ”

Li Guolou said: "Dear Yelia, you have calculated until now, you are not calculating to my bed, you have already arrived here, and it is even more impossible for you to let me go." ”

Yelia writhed around Li Guolou and said coquettishly: "This is a new place, Mike, I can't sleep if you don't sleep next to me." ”

Li Guolou leaned over and kissed Yelia's face, and said, "My dear, the sky will be bright in two or three hours, go to sleep, I'm by your side." After speaking, Li Guolou turned off the oil lamp next to the bed, and everything returned to the night, and the surroundings were silent, only the whimper of the cold wind hovered between the buildings.

In the dining room in the morning, Zheng Lingling circled around the third grandmother Yelia, kept looking at Yelia, and touched Yelia's blonde hair. Curiously, I asked many people in Western fairy tales in Yelia, what happened to him in the future, and which fairy tale did he go to? Did the third grandmother Yelia change Snow White?

After getting a positive answer, Zheng Lingling stopped getting along with her mother, stuck to Yelia for breakfast, listened to Yelia, and became a good girl.

Chen Xiangfang rolled her eyes at Yelia and said, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Yelia smiled, "With Mike by my side, I can sleep anywhere." Big grandma, your daughter is so cute, like a little princess in a fairy tale. ”

When talking about her daughter Chen Xiangfang's face immediately became friendly, and she began to chat with Yelia about family affairs, and when Li Guolou was not clean, Li Guolou still had to listen to them. The three grandmothers would ask him for his opinion at any time, and they would not repeat it a second time.

Li Guolou was bored when he heard this, and changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about these mothers-in-law, I'm not interested in Yelia's past private life, or about the store." Yesterday I saw the second grandmother writing a recipe in the store, although the handwriting is very good, but there is no creativity, and the menu in the restaurant is also like this. I have a great idea, would you like to hear it? ”

After receiving the support of the three grandmothers, Li Guolou continued: "My trick has never been done before, so can't I take photos now?" Why can't we include a picture of each dish next to it? In this way, people don't know how to read, and they don't have to explain what this dish is made of? Guests can know what the dish looks like when they are served just by looking at the photos, and what other ingredients are in the dish? Yelia, do you think I can apply for a patent in the West? ”

Yelia smiled, "Mike, is this technical?" People will look at it. But the idea is very good, the guests must feel fresh, your menu will be stolen back, or the guests will ask you to give it to them, and the menu of the Bao Zhi Room will be antique in the future. ”

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Three grandmothers, don't laugh, it's really like this, first order two hundred menus, and engrave the number on them, so that the value will be different in the future, what we do is to create history, you are witnessing the miracle happening." ”

Xie Xiuzhu chuckled: "Then fake, our three grandmothers will have the number one, and we will pass it on to our children and grandchildren in the future." ”

Chen Xiangfang said with a smile: "Xiaolou, you can make Baozhifang famous, I think 200 recipes must not be enough, the printing is exquisite, plus the name of the dish written by the second grandmother, it must be very valuable in the future, and the words of the second grandmother will also be begged." ”

Li Guolou asked, "Second grandmother, are you willing to write?" I'm tired, so I don't want to print it on paper. ”

Chen Xiangfang glanced at it and said: "Now I have something to do except at night, and I don't have anything to do during the day. ”

Li Guolou nodded and said, "Then I'll go and invite the photographer in the morning, this is enough for Roberts to make a small fortune." ”

Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, didn't you say last time that you wanted to do a photography business and didn't talk to Roberts?" ”

Li Guolou sighed: "Second grandma, the business is too small, I am really not interested, I can make a few dollars, this industry will be very competitive in the future, more and more people will join, and the photo studio will open all over every corner of Beijing." Shadow graphics are about to be phased out, and wanted criminals will be photo graphics in the future. ”

Xie Xiuzhu looked at the two hands, fiddled with the posture, and said coquettishly: "I'm a little interested in taking photos, with a guy, I go out to see the scenery every day, and I can also go to big houses to play." Xiaolou, you are going to deceive the foreigner's technology. How enviable it is for our family to go out and have a camera with us. ”

Li Guolou said angrily: "Then tell me to raise a torch, no way!" ”

The camera at this time was a pistol camera of the British with a fixed tripod. Photography is very dependent on light, and if the light is a little bad during the day, it will not be able to take a good photo, and the invalidation rate of photos taken with barrel-style film is very high. In order to compensate for the lack of light, usually the person taking the photo should bring a guy to light the torches. Sometimes two men are required to illuminate the person in the middle symmetrically, so taking pictures is also a luxury, and it takes several films to waste and pose for a long time, with several photographers on hand.

Westerners brought this new technology into the Qing Empire, but these people were originally low-level photographers who came to the Qing Empire to make a living, so they would not teach the key technology to the buddies, and the key printing technology was occupied by Western photographers.

Yelia snorted coldly: "Second grandma, don't beg Mike, I can also take pictures, I also have a camera, and I will also print photos." It's just that the photos have to be soaked in the potion and the smell is terrible, so I gave up this hobby. I'll talk to Roberts, what does it have to do with hiring a photographer in our family? Wouldn't it be nice if the two of us went to Jingshi to play together, and we didn't have to spend money anywhere in the future, and there were people to treat? ”

Xie Xiuzhu said happily: "Yelia, don't you know that Roberts is a famous pervert, specializing in eating other people's little lady's tofu, which has a bad reputation and tarnishes the reputation of foreigners, and now no one in Jingshi invited him to take pictures." Last time, Xiaolou said that he had to solve the lifelong problems for Roberts before he could cooperate with him. ”

Yelia giggled, "Then I'd like to meet a pervert who is more powerful than Mike." ”

Li Guolou said: "Roberts is the legendary British hooligan, I will not leave an inch if you go to see him, otherwise Roberts will be furious when he sees a blonde beauty like you." ”

Chen Xiangfang scolded: "Xiaolou, Lingling is innocent, what are you talking about." Wanniang, take Lingling out to play, and you will be more careful in the future. ”

Chen Xiangfang put on the posture of an eldest woman and scolded the three people who were not in shape, and they were not allowed to talk obscene in the morning during the day, and they should do a good job in the dining room in the future.

Li Guolou hurriedly repented and promised that he would abide by the rules when he went downstairs in the future, no matter whether there was anyone or not, and he would no longer come nonsense in the inner house.

Xie Xiuzhu said: "Grandma, do you know? Children in large families do not stay with adults, and there is time for parents and children to get together and play for a while. Especially in Xiaolou, there are three of our grandmothers, how can we mix with children, and when there are more children in the future, there will be a separate nurse. ”

Chen Xiangfang glanced at her and said, "I know this, isn't it not time yet?" It's hard to have a child like you. ”

"What did you say!" Xie Xiuzhu was furious and began to chase Chen Xiangfang, and the two chased after Li Guolou and started fighting.

Yelia watched the two grandmothers fight and chase, and said suspiciously: "Mike, I heard that you men in the Qing Empire are very strong in restricting women, why do you laugh all day long in your house, there are no rules." ”

Li Guolou said: "Dear Yelia, there are a lot of high-sounding words in the book, this is an inner house, every family with a little wife is like this, outsiders can't see it." Otherwise, why would a man marry three wives and four concubines, and keep a straight face all day long, where would the fun come from? ”

Yelia asked, "Mike, what am I going to learn?" ”

Li Guolou said: "Command the servants to work, they will be lazy, so don't give them a good look." First of all, we must stand up, don't reward them casually, select model workers every month, and reward model workers in front of everyone. In this way, the servant's motivation will come up, otherwise if you reward him once, he will wait for the next time, and he does the same thing, and if you don't reward him, he will not do it in the future. Most of these servants are domestic slaves who are already leprosy, and sometimes you have to beat them up, otherwise they will forget who their master is. ”

Xie Xiuzhu was caught by Chen Xiangfang, here is still Chen Xiangfang is the most powerful, she is a person who practices martial arts, her body is flexible, how can a small-footed woman like the second grandmother escape her palm.

Yelia smiled: "Then do I want to beat the leper second grandmother?" ”

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Put it at night." ”

The three grandmothers had a flying glow on their faces, their eyes were spring, and they looked at Li Guolou shyly, and began to work.
